#308 Bonus: Vancouver 2026: Let's Hear From Toastmasters International Convention Attendees
Listen to this episode
[39:18] Forty plus Voices from around the world. And one question at the heart of it all: What was it like to experience the 2026 Toastmasters International Convention in Vancouver, Canada? In this bonus episode and Part 2 of our convention coverage, Toastmasters Podcast host Greg and fellow podcaster & Toastmaster Michael Dugan turn the microphone over to the people who were there, including many experiencing their first International Convention.
You'll hear attendees share...
· What brought them to Vancouver and what surprised them once they arrived.
· Their takeaways from the educational sessions and World Championship of Public Speaking.
· The people and moments that inspired them.
· What first-time attendees thought of the convention experience.
· Why meeting friends, mentors and Toastmasters from around the world meant so much.
· What they hope to take back to their clubs, districts and communities.
Through all those different voices and experiences, one theme comes through again and again: Connection. Sometimes the most memorable convention moment wasn't a presentation at all. It was simply meeting another person.
